Pharmaceutical Revenue Performance

First-quarter pharmaceutical sales declined 12 percent to $8.9 billion,
including a 2 percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. Declines
of SINGULAIR (montelukast sodium), MAXALT (rizatriptan benzoate) and
CLARINEX (desloratadine) following loss of market exclusivity were
partially offset by strong growth for GARDASIL [Human Papillomavirus
Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16 and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant], ZOSTAVAX
(zoster vaccine live), REMICADE (infliximab), SIMPONI (golimumab) and
ISENTRESS (raltegravir).

Sales from emerging markets grew 6 percent, including a 2 percent
negative impact from foreign exchange. Emerging market sales accounted
for approximately 21 percent of pharmaceutical sales in the first
quarter of 2013. China continues to be a key driver of growth in the
emerging markets with sales increasing 23 percent for the first quarter,
including a 2 percent benefit from foreign exchange.

Worldwide sales of the combined diabetes franchise of JANUVIA
(sitagliptin)/JANUMET (sitagliptin/metformin HCI) declined 1 percent to
$1.3 billion in the first quarter, including a 2 percent negative impact
from foreign exchange. The decline reflects lower sales in the United
States of 5 percent, primarily driven by reduced customer inventory
levels, which were partially offset by growth in the rest of the world.

Sales of ZETIA (ezetimibe) and VYTORIN (ezetimibe/simvastatin),
medicines for lowering LDL cholesterol, declined 3 percent to $1.0
billion in the first quarter driven by lower sales of VYTORIN, partially
offset by growth of ZETIA in the United States.

Combined sales of REMICADE and SIMPONI, treatments for inflammatory
diseases, increased 11 percent to $657 million in the first quarter of
2013.

Merck’s sales of GARDASIL, a vaccine to help prevent certain diseases
caused by four types of human papillomavirus (HPV), were $390 million,
an increase of 37 percent for the quarter. The increase was driven by
higher sales in the United States, reflecting continued strong uptake in
males and higher public sector purchases, as well as favorable
performance in the emerging markets.

ISENTRESS, an HIV integrase inhibitor for use in combination with other
antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, grew 8
percent to $362 million in the first quarter driven by strong growth in
the emerging markets and Europe.

Worldwide sales of SINGULAIR, a once-a-day oral medicine for the chronic
treatment of asthma and the relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis,
declined 75 percent to $337 million in the first quarter. The patents
for SINGULAIR expired in the United States in August 2012 and expired in
major European markets in February 2013. The company experienced a
significant and rapid reduction in sales in the United States and is now
also experiencing a substantial decline in Europe.

Sales of VICTRELIS (boceprevir), the company’s oral hepatitis C virus
protease inhibitor, declined 1 percent in the first quarter to $110
million, including a 2 percent negative impact from foreign exchange.
Lower sales in the United States were partially offset by continued
growth in international markets.

Sales of ZOSTAVAX, a vaccine for the prevention of herpes zoster, were
$168 million in the first quarter of 2013, up from $76 million in the
first quarter of 2012, driven by strong demand in the United States.

Animal Health Revenue Performance

Animal Health sales totaled $840 million for the first quarter of 2013,
a 2 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2012, including
a 2 percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. The increase was
driven by strong performance in companion animal products, including
sales of ACTIVYL, a new product for the treatment and prevention of
fleas and ticks in dogs and cats, as well as continued growth in poultry
products. Animal Health products include pharmaceutical and vaccine
products for the prevention, treatment and control of disease in all
major farm and companion animal species.

Consumer Care Revenue Performance

First-quarter global sales of Consumer Care were $571 million, an
increase of 3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2012, including a
1 percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. The sales increase
was primarily due to COPPERTONE suncare products and CLARITIN.

Other Revenue Performance

Other revenues – primarily comprising alliance revenue, miscellaneous
corporate revenues and third-party manufacturing sales – increased 34
percent to $369 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. The
increase was primarily driven by higher revenue from AstraZeneca LP
(AZLP) recorded by Merck, which increased 41 percent to $262 million as
compared with atypically lower first quarter 2012 AZLP revenues.

First-Quarter Expense and Other Information

The costs detailed below totaled $9.0 billion on a GAAP basis during the
first quarter of 2013 and include $1.4 billion of acquisition-related
costs and restructuring costs.

The gross margin was 62.9 percent for the first quarter of 2013 and 65.6
percent for the first quarter of 2012, reflecting 11.5 and 10.5
percentage point unfavorable impacts, respectively, from the
acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs noted above. The gross
margin decline primarily reflects the impact of the SINGULAIR patent
expiries.

Marketing and administrative expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, were $2.9
billion in the first quarter of 2013, a decrease from $3.0 billion in
the first quarter of 2012.

Research and development (R&D) expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, were $1.9
billion in the first quarter of 2013, an increase from $1.8 billion in
the first quarter of 2012.

Equity income from affiliates was $133 million for the first quarter,
primarily reflecting the performance of partnerships with AZLP and
Sanofi Pasteur MSD.

Other (income) expense, net was $282 million of expense in the first
quarter of 2013, compared to $142 million of expense in the first
quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 includes approximately $140
million of exchange losses due to a Venezuelan currency devaluation.

The GAAP effective tax rate of (4.3)% for the first quarter of 2013
reflects the impact of acquisition-related costs and restructuring
costs, as well as an out-of-period tax benefit of approximately $160
million associated with the resolution of a previously disclosed legacy
Schering-Plough federal income tax issue. The non-GAAP effective tax
rate, which excludes these items, was 12.5% for the quarter. Both the
GAAP and non-GAAP first quarter effective tax rates reflect the
favorable impact of tax legislation enacted in the first quarter of
2013. The first quarter 2013 tax rates also reflect the net favorable
impact of other discrete items, primarily a reduction in tax reserves
upon expiration of applicable statute of limitations, which resulted in
unanticipated net tax benefits of approximately $0.06 per share as noted
above.

Key Developments

The company noted the following developments:

  • Announced a new share repurchase program of up to $15 billion of
    Merck’s common stock for its treasury. The company expects to
    repurchase approximately $7.5 billion of common stock over the next 12
    months, financed through a combination of debt issuance and operating
    cash flows, with the remainder to be repurchased over time with no
    time limit.
  • Entered into a worldwide (except Japan) collaboration
    agreement with Pfizer Inc.
    (Pfizer) to develop and commercialize
    ertugliflozin, an investigational oral sodium glucose cotransporter
    (SGLT2) inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of type 2
    diabetes. Merck and Pfizer will collaborate on the clinical
    development and commercialization of ertugliflozin and
    ertugliflozin-containing fixed-dose combinations with metformin and
    JANUVIA.
  • Announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
    designated lambrolizumab (MK-3475), an investigational antibody
    therapy for advanced melanoma, as a “Breakthrough
    Therapy
    .”
  • Entered into an agreement
    with Bristol-Myers Squibb
    (BMS) to conduct a Phase II clinical
    trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a once-daily oral
    combination regimen consisting of BMS’ investigational NS5A
    replication complex inhibitor and Merck’s investigational NS3/4A
    protease inhibitor (MK-5172) for the treatment of genotype 1 hepatitis
    C virus infection.
  • Increased investment in emerging markets with the opening
    of a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Hangzhou, China
    .
    The site will package Merck medicines for China and the Asia Pacific
    region and become a critical part of the company’s global supply chain.
  • Announced FDA acceptance
    of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for an investigational
    Timothy grass pollen (Phleum pratense) allergy immunotherapy
    tablet
    (AIT) for review. The company also submitted a BLA to the
    FDA for its investigational ragweed pollen (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)
    AIT.
  • Entered into an agreement with Samsung
    Bioepis Co.
    , Ltd (Samsung) to develop and commercialize multiple
    biosimilar candidates. Under the agreement, Samsung will be
    responsible for preclinical and clinical development, process
    development and manufacturing, clinical trials and registration and
    Merck will be responsible for commercialization.

Financial Targets

Merck now expects full-year 2013 non-GAAP EPS to be between $3.45 and
$3.55, and 2013 GAAP EPS to be between $1.92 and $2.16. The 2013
non-GAAP range excludes acquisition-related costs, costs related to
restructuring programs and certain other items. The company updated its
full-year guidance due to pressures on sales that are greater than
previously anticipated, including foreign exchange, as well as new R&D
programs and a revised tax rate.

At current exchange rates, Merck now expects full-year 2013 sales to be
approximately 3 to 4 percent below prior year levels with foreign
exchange accounting for more than 2 percentage points of the decline.

In addition, the company now expects full-year 2013 non-GAAP R&D expense
to be slightly higher than 2012 levels. The company now expects its
full-year 2013 non-GAAP tax rate to be in the range of 22 to 23 percent.

A reconciliation of anticipated 2013 EPS, as reported in accordance with
GAAP to non-GAAP EPS that excludes certain items, is provided in the
table below.
